Mast ON Cleveland.
The Atlanta Constitution prints
the following interview of the great
cartoonist Mast on Cleveland;
aDo you believe Cleveland will.
be nominated and lif nominated,
eIected?Y
''Yes. am reasonable certain of
it. 1t would be.the greatest mistake
ever committed by any party for
the Democrats to nominate any
other person. Cleveland was, when
first nominated, much stronger than
his party. Now he is decidedly
stronger. lie is by long odds
the strongest man in either party
and will sweep the country next
year. l am Mugwump, and am
speaking after the manner of Mug
wumps. / supported him with en-
thusiasm when he was nominated,
and did what | could to ensure his
election. 1t was an experiment then.
We believed Cleveland to be the man,
and vac We're willing to give him a
trial. For the time being we We're
willing to sacrifice our party pre-
objections. We felt that Cleveland
would give the entire country a safe
and peaceable administration Our
confidence was not misplaced. He
more fulfilled our expectations.
He has made one of the best Presi-
dents this country has ever had"
"Supposing that Cleveland should
be again nominated, do you believe
the Mugwump element that helped
to elect him the last time would
support him again?''
"Why not? Yes, of course the
Mugwumps will vote for him
There is IL much stronger reason to
support him now than there was
then. When the Mugwumps voted
for him three years ago Cleveland
was an experiment.; now he is a
proved success. Besides, the thou
sand of business men in the North
who are afraid to trust the Demo
Gratis with the power, have been
won over by the conservative, safe
and successful democratic party
revolutionizing the financial affairs
and overturning the established in
stitution and wrecking the Govern
ment, have happily been dissipated.
The solid business men will support
Cleveland because lie has demon
strated his ability to serve the whole
country My own opinion is that
Cleveland will be nominated, and
that he will be triumphantIy elected.
One thing is certain, / will do all
l can for him. l will support him
Vigorously
The people who spend the happiest
lives are those who think not first
of themselves but of those around
them, who do their duty sand trust
to God for the rest.
II Lord Sandon.
A man may lose position, infu-
ence, wealth, and even health, and
yet live on III comfort, if with res
ignation; but there is one thing
without which life becomes bur
den-that is human sympathy.
-FCanon Farrar.
No one who is lover of riches,
or lover of pleasure, or a lever OF
glory, can at the same time be a
lover of men. L-Epietetus.
There are two little words in our
language which / always admired
Try and Trust. You know not
what you can or cannot effect until
you try; and if you make your trials
in the exercise oftrast in God, noun
tains of imaginary difficulties will
vanish as you approach them, and
facilities will be afforded which you
never anticipated.
Man does notlive for selfalone. He
lives for the good of others as well
as of himself Every one has duties
to perforn-the richest as, we'll as the
poorest. To some life is pleasure, to
others suffering. But the best do not
live for self enjoyment, or even for
fame. Their strongest Inoffte power
is hopeful, useful work in every
good cause. Samuel Smiles.
